I think they're very, very comparable.
Dic (Laurence Dickie) commented: "With the G2s, you get 95% of the performance from an enclosure that is 50% of the volume of the G1s."
The G1s must reproduce a couple of Hz lower.
But my G2s go quite deep.
I can hear notes that I didn't hear on the B&W 800D2 (driven by Accuphase gear).
By the way, I would have taken the G1s, but I made a very good compromise with my better half. ;-)

Bart, thanks for the detailed answer.
The Stereophile review shows a similar performance to the G3, other than below 30Hz of course, although the step in the response at about 1kHz is slightly more pronounced with the G1, suggesting that it may sound a little to the warm side of dead neutral.
I'll post my thoughts when I've heard them in a week or two's time.
